Embark on a breakfast adventure with the Best Ever Pancake Recipe, a delightful treat designed to elevate your mornings and satisfy your dessert cravings.

These pancakes are made with buttermilk but if youd like to add more protein to your routine you can substitute it for plain greek yogurt.

Notes

  • This batter is meant to be on the thicker fluffier side its not runny and takes some finessing to get it on the pan. See video on tip to get them on the pan!
  • Keep left overs in a air tight container in the fridge and serve them cold or heat them up in a toaster for a quick on the go breakfast.
